We are grateful.

Turn Up the Mic Creative Edition was a blast and it's because you were the gun powder that triggered this effect.

We love you as we look forward to TUTM 2023.

Wow! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can you feel the excitement in the air?
Turn up the Mic is today!

The count down has led us here. Today, all roads lead to the big hall, American Space, Calabar for a thrilling time of poetry, music, live conversations and more...

It's seven days to turn up, y'all. See what we did there? 😆😀😄

Bars on bars, keep it locked in with Worden at Turn up the Mic 🎤🎤

We know you want the best, so we are bringing you one of the best performance poet from Nigeria.
The man, The Myth, The legend; Worden Enya.

It's been four amazing years of bringing creatives together. Seven incredible editions of creating magic and over ten thousand youth reached so far. We have definitely come a long way.

And as we continue to evolve, 'Turn Up' will definitely morph into something more.
But, our vision remains to create an environment where creative people, especially poets in our city can thrive.

This year, we bring you A-lists poets, storytellers, photographers, dancers, thespians and more as we spark conversations about the way forward for the creative industry in Calabar, and Nigeria.

We've missed been on this space with you, but, we never stopped working on creative solutions for you. We're back now and really can not wait to share what we've been working on with you....

Did you miss us? let us know in the comments section.

Gratitude is what we feel, knowing that we're a part of the learning journey of students in our city.
Our schools tour was a beautiful experieence for all of us. And the energies we felt in these rooms were palpable!

Thank you to all our amazing sponsors and volunteers. Special thanks to some of Calabar's finest musicians and poets for turning up for us;

We're beyond grateful...

We hope to share more of our favorite moments from the tour with you. @ Calabar Municipal

Focus!
We can bet that World War II could happen around these slamcalabar2021 judges, and they won't flinch (Now. that's an exaggeration).

However, the point is;
Zone out distractions.
because, in order to achieve your goals for this year, and any other year, you need laser focus.

Are you as excited as we are about the schools poetry tour 2022? Then, we're looking for you.

We want to reach 2000 students across ten schools in Calabar this February. Think you can help us achieve this? jump right in.
